Sapa Weather Trekking A Social Enterprise Owned By Hmong Women.
We are a small experienced team from the Hmong ethnic minority that have established a tour company
who will supply our Guides with a fairer income. We want to work for ourselves to charge reasonable tour
prices and quality services with our local knowledge and culture.
Sapa Weather Trekking Guides All Speak Good English.
We change the local life to become better
We believe in building local and community-based tourism to help bring the local community out of poverty.
Our entire supply chain is carefully selected so that it benefits and strengthens the local community economy. From the trip to the trailhead, the guide, and the homestay, the food is fully run by small business owners and freelancers from the minority tribes that live and grow up in the valley.
We also pay our guide fairly. We are the first few companies that adopt a tiered payment system that ensures the tour guides benefit from the work they do.
With your support, we will create a more independent and robust community with every hike you make.
We will empower more independent women like us.

Fantastische tweedaagse Sapa trekking met een geweldige local guide!
Onze ervaring met Sapa Weather Trekking Tours was werkelijk onvergetelijk. We boekten een tweedaagse hiking tour en hadden het geluk om op pad te gaan met Mai, een fantastische local guide die ons volledig meenam in het ritme, de geuren, smaken en vergezichten van de bergen rond Sa Pa.
Wat deze tour voor ons echt uniek maakte, was dat Mai ons meenam op een route die volledig off the beaten track was. Twee dagen lang zijn we geen enkele andere toerist tegengekomen — een zeldzame luxe in zo’n populair gebied! De uitzichten waren adembenemend: terrasvormige rijstvelden, kronkelende bergpaadjes, kabbelende beekjes en groene dalen zover het oog reikte.
Mai gaf ons onderweg een prachtige inkijk in het dagelijkse leven van de ethnic minority villages, zoals de Hmong-gemeenschap. Ze vertelde met veel respect en kennis over hun cultuur, gewoontes en gebruiken. We voelden ons echt welkom, geen moment toeristisch. Ze liet ons ook kennismaken met kruiden en vruchten die in het wild groeiden en had zelfs een mini-herbal bath voor onze voeten klaargemaakt na een pittige eerste wandeldag.
Mai zelf is een warme, goedlachse en moderne Vietnamese vrouw met een groot hart voor haar regio. Ze voelde haarfijn aan wat we fijn vonden, stelde alternatieve routes voor die perfect bij ons tempo en onze interesses pasten, en wist met haar enthousiasme en kennis echt het verschil te maken.
We sloten de tour af met een heerlijk traditioneel herbal bath — een rustgevende en geurige ervaring die we iedereen aanraden na een intensieve trektocht.
Kortom: als je een authentieke Sapa trekking wilt maken, met persoonlijke aandacht en échte verbinding met de omgeving en de mensen, boek dan absoluut bij Sapa Weather Trekking Tours. En als je de kans krijgt: vraag naar Mai. Ze is een parel van een gids!

We had an incredibly rewarding experience in Sapa as part of our academic study tour, guided by the amazing duo, Mai and Huong. They curated a thoughtfully planned day for our group of 21 students, filled with meaningful cultural learning and immersive activities.
We began with a scenic trek through Ma Tra Village, followed by a visit to Ta Phin Cave, and spent time inside traditional Dao houses, where we observed how local communities live. One of the most memorable parts was the Hmong Batik Art Class, where students learned the intricate process of batik-making hands-on.
Mai and Huang came fully prepared — bringing visual aids, photographs, and involving local instructors to help us understand everything from hemp cultivation, traditional attire, belief systems, and day-to-day life of the Hmong and Dao communities. They answered every student’s question patiently and made sure each one felt engaged and included.
The lunch provided was delicious, fresh and filling, and overall, the entire experience was seamless, deeply insightful, and perfectly aligned with the educational goals of our trip. We were all super impressed with the effort, care, and cultural sensitivity they brought to the day. Highly recommended for any group looking for a meaningful and respectful cultural exchange in Sapa.

We were lucky to visit SaPa on a glorious week of blue skies and warm weather. As per recommended by our homestay, we decided to do a 1-day trekking tour through Y-Linh-Ho, Lao Chai and Ta Van villages. This ended up being probably the most memorable time we had in Vietnam. Our guide was Mai, who gave us a lot of insight on the local way of life and surroundings. The trek was about 11-12km and 6-7 hours long, so bring good walking boots! Lunch in Lao Chai was also delicious.
We will always recommend Sapa Weather Trekking Tours to everyone 🙂

Had amazing experience with Mai. She explained a lot of details about Vietnam, it's culture and various tribes around SaPa. We ended our tour with authentic family style Vietnamese dinner. Highly recommend this tour.
Advice: We ended up buying the rain boots from the village for about USD $3.5 however if you decide to take the scenic and rice field path, expect wet and muddy path so wear shoes accordingly.

My partner and I decided to do a 3 day trek and we got Su as our guide. Such a wonderful person! Very talkative but in a very good way. She explained a lot about the local culture and way of life during the hike and took us mostly to non-turistic spots. She even brought us to her home and introduced us to her family, while also getting us a bit drunk on "happy water".
We also decided to take the cooking class with Mai, and she was also super nice and taught us to make Pho, spring rolls and Vietnanamese bread the proper local way in an actual Vietnamese kitchen. Then we played a local drinking game, which was also very fun. We even got an herbal bath after the hike!
To summarize, this was one of our best experiences in Vietnam and if you like trekking away from the crowds and getting to know the locals, Sapa Weather is the way to do it!

We had an unforgettable trekking experience in Sapa, all thanks to our amazing guide, Sue. From the start, Sue impressed us with her humor, intelligence, and engaging storytelling. She had us laughing the entire way and made the journey feel effortless, despite the challenging terrain.
Sue’s deep knowledge of the local culture, history, and landscape enriched our adventure. She made sure to tailor the experience to our skill level, and she always had interesting anecdotes to share, making each stop along the trek meaningful.
Beyond her expertise, Sue’s warm and friendly nature made us feel so welcome. She was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. It was clear that she loves what she does, and her passion for Sapa’s beautiful scenery and culture was contagious.
We can’t recommend Sue enough—if you’re planning a trek in Sapa, she is absolutely the guide you want by your side! Thank you, Sue, for an experience we’ll cherish forever!

We really enjoyed our two one-day treks with Mai in the October mist. She patiently explained the various route options before we set out each day, provided lots of information along the way, the lunches were delicious, and the transfers back to Sapa were efficiently organised. The walks were tough, but with Mai’s support we got the chance to explore beautiful scenery and understand local culture. Ahead of the trek, Mai responded really quickly and helpfully to all of my queries.
